14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA 2004-17493; Airspace Docket 04-ANM-04]


Amendment to Class D Airspace; Ogden, Hill Air Force Base, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class D airspace at Ogden, Hill Air 
Force Base, UT (Hill AFB) by clarifying the description of the Class D 
Airspace. The current airspace description could be confusing thereby 
making it difficult to interpret. This modification does not change the 
current boundaries or use of the affected airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 02, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Haeseker, Air Traffic Division, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, 
Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 227-2527.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Current Class D airspace as described in Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points Document 7400.9L dated September 02, 2003, and 
effective September 16, 2003, has been found to be confusing and is 
difficult to interpret. This clarifies that airspace description.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 
(14 CFR part 71) by clarifying the description of the Class D airspace 
at Ogden, Hill AFB. The current airspace description is difficult to 
interpret. This modification does not change the current boundaries or 
the use of the affected airspace.
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of 
FAA Order 7400.9L dated September 02, 2003, and effective September 16, 
2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D 
airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 
FR 11013; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a 
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since 
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures 
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule would not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
